Collaboration with Orange County

Currently, SANDAG coordinates with Orange County representatives on regional transportation, land use and environmental issues. SANDAG staff convenes regular planning meetings with Orange County counterparts to exchange information on key transportation planning projects and studies, and to explore opportunities for collaboration.

In 2010, the SANDAG Board of Directors approved the Southern California Association of Governments (SCAG) as the newest advisory member of the Borders Committee. SCAG is the largest council of governments in the United States, functioning as the Metropolitan Planning Organization for six counties: Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, and Imperial. As an advisory member of the Borders Committee, SCAG helps provide oversight on planning activities that impact the borders of the San Diego region.
